I don’t do it for privacy, although that is a benefit.

I use RSS for convenience (all sources like news, YT, link aggregators, etc. are in the same place) and also to escape “the algorithm“. With RSS, I am in more control over what I see rather than what the Apple/Google news algorithm wants me to see.

Also it helps to prevent doom scrolling. When you’re at the end of your feed, that’s it. There’s no more. You find something else to do.

Just generally, a more efficient use of my time.

Here you go.

You can use yt-dlp to download just the audio stream. After you install it, open your terminal and run:

yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLHW_tnxUzXEbQqtEVK0EyvYKM2yC4fsr

Better to use something like ultra.cc. Their Tank Streaming or App Vault plans are what you should look at.
